The long-term ECG measurement and/or the long-term blood pressure measurement are performed using a small device on the wrist, the SOMNOtouch™ NIBP. Up to 5 different measurements can be performed simultaneously with this device. The blood pressure measurement is thereby more accurate, since continuous measurements are taken between each heartbeat and comfortablebecause it does not have a cuff at all.
